Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of Liberal government, Canadians cannot afford another Prime Minister who cashes in while they line up at food banks.
As Brookfield Chair, the Prime Minister helped funnel $6.5 billion through Bermuda and Cayman tax havens, dodging Canadian taxes for his personal benefit. That is not public service; it is self-service. Every dollar hidden offshore is a dollar not building homes, funding health care or supporting veterans and seniors who did everything right and are now falling behind.
Canadians see the pattern. The Prime Minister doubled Trudeau's deficits, cooked up the second-most expensive budget in history, fudged the numbers to hide how bad it was, and now, we learn that he helped the biggest tax dodger in Canada shelter billions. While the Prime Minister and his Bay Street buddies hide money at a Bermuda bike shop, he tells young Canadians to tighten their belts. This is unacceptable.
Conservatives demand an end to this insider game. We will close the loopholes and put Canadians first by cutting taxes for real growth and hope.
